Wikipedia Yo contribuyo en la Wikipedia en español. I support the Spanish language Wikipedia with my contributions.

My name is Kef Li Eric Marcus X-Schecter. Legally, I am Kevin Lee Fields. I have no academic credentials of any kind, fake or otherwise. ;)

Although my username appears as 'Furrykef' in most MediaWiki-based wikis like Wikipedia, it is properly 'furrykef'.

  • Clawhammer (merged with frailing)
• Creator and former maintainer of three wikibooks:
  • Guitar
  • Tonal Music Theory
  • Civilization Strategy Guide
• Currently sysop at:
  • Wikipedia
  • HRWiki
  • And of course my own wikis
• Occasional lurker/editor of the Homestar Runner Wiki, C2 Wiki (a.k.a. Ward's Wiki), the Creatures Wiki, and WikiFur.

On Wikipedia I usually lurk, fix typos/grammar/markup, create redirects, and post on talk pages. Rarely do I heavily revise an article or start a new one. I guess that makes me an unsung zero. ;) For a brief time, while I was being voted on for sysop, I plotted global domination, but when I actually got my powers, I decided against it.

But most of all I end up correcting typographical errors. See /Wiki stuff that bugs me.

My wikibooks are mostly abandoned efforts. They require more dedication than I am willing to put into them; in each case I just wanted to get the ball rolling. Usually the ball rolls a little and stops dead once it gets down the hill, but at least I tried.

[edit] Toy wikis

These are little wikis I have created. One lesson I learned: don't use swiki.net. Much of their stuff is broken (for example, invites to private wikis, making private wikis useless) and they don't give a crap about their users. :(

• gameinfo - down with GameFAQs! ;) I have decided to post my game guides here instead.
  • Creatures 3
  • Kid Klown in Crazy Chase
  • Trust and Betrayal: The Legacy of Siboot
  • Looney Tunes B-Ball
  • The Oregon Trail
  • Karateka
  • Monopoly Tycoon
  • Life and Death II: The Brain
• ROM Hack City - all about ROM hacking (currently mostly on hiatus until I actually get back to my ROM hacking project)

[edit] Non-wiki stuff

• Kef's Internets, my website. Some parts may be NSFW, but you won't stumble upon any naughty pictures without warning.
• My LiveJournal, which is here (warning: may include strong views, strong language, and weak reasoning -- and occasional TMI (Too Much Information))

[edit] Briefography

[edit] Furry

The 'furry' part of my handle refers to the fact I am a so-called furry. Despite everything you are likely to have ever heard about furries, many are quite normal people. I think.

Well, I'm not normal, but I'm not abnormal in that way, y'knowwhatImean?

[edit] Hobbies

Drawing, composing/arranging music, playing the guitar, designing computer games, programming, playing poker, learning languages, writing.

[edit] Programming languages

Usually I write in Python, on the web I often use PHP, and when I have to I use C++. I am also able to use other languages like Java, Ruby, and even assembly, but I rarely need to and therefore rarely do.
